Cruise Liner Queen Mary 2 Arrives in New York Harbor, in All Its Majesty, Bulk.
Byline: Leslie Brody
Apr. 23--Picture a posh resort longer than Giants Stadium -- wait, make that one and a half Giants Stadiums -- splashing through the ocean waves.
Now see it gliding out of the early morning mist and under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge with little space to spare.
The Queen Mary 2 steamed into New York Harbor for the first time Thursday, welcomed by fireboats spraying red, white, and blue fountains and a thunderous "God Save the Queen" from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy band. Smiling passengers waved little American flags from the decks in return.
Cunard's new flagship left thousands of spectators along the Hudson River gaping, and many excited passengers recounting tales of a great time -- albeit with queasy stomachs -- on the storm-tossed voyage across the North Atlantic. Some on board who played a racing game with wooden horses gave the winner a telling name: "Seasick Biscuit."
